BANGKOK, Thailand – A Bangkok motorist has warned other drivers after a man allegedly approached his car at a red light and wiped it with a wiper and cloth before expecting payment. The motorist said he had no cash with him but gave the man the small amount of loose change he had available.
The man allegedly threw the coins away in front of him and continued shouting insults. The motorist shared the incident online, saying the experience had left him disappointed and that he was unlikely to give money to people offering similar unsolicited services in the future.
The incident serves as a reminder for motorists to be cautious when approached by people offering unsolicited windscreen or car-cleaning services at traffic lights. Drivers who do not want their vehicles cleaned can decline before the service begins to avoid misunderstandings over payment.
The account reflects the motorist’s description of the incident and does not establish that others providing similar services behave in the same way.
